Lo Ra WAN has developed excellently as a communication solution in the Io T. The Things Network (TTN) has contributed to this. The Things Network was upgraded to The Things Stack Community Edition (TTS (CE)). The TTN V2 clusters were closed towards the end of 2021.
In this book, I will show you the necessary steps to operate Lo Ra WAN nodes using TTS (CE) and maybe extend the network of gateways with an own gateway. Meanwhile, there are even Lo Ra WAN gateways suitable for mobile use with which you can connect to the TTN server via your cell phone.
I present several commercial Lo Ra WAN nodes and new, low-cost and battery-powered hardware for building autonomous Lo Ra WAN nodes.
Registering Lo Ra WAN nodes and gateways in the TTS (CE), providing the collected data via MQTT and visualization via Node-RED, Cayenne, Thingspeak, and Datacake enable complex Io T projects and completely new applications at very low cost.
This book will enable you to provide and visualize data collected with battery-powered sensors (Lo Ra WAN nodes) wirelessly on the Internet. You will learn the basics for smart city and Io T applications that enable, for example, the measurement of air quality, water levels, snow depths, the determination of free parking spaces (smart parking), and the intelligent control of street lighting (smart lighting), among others.
